Ish. I think EVs in the long term will use two gears. 1-gear transmission seems... ill-suited. Its only possible on grossly-overpowered EVs (ex: Tesla). Economical cars like Leaf would likely benefit from a 2nd speed. Honda Accord Hybrids have a silly design: EV Motor is permanently on low-gear, while ICE-engine is permanently on high-gear. You could call it a two-gear system, but perhaps its two motors each permanently attached to a single gear without any traditional "transmission" (aka: system to change gears). Just a computer that is deciding to take more (or less) power to the ICE vs EV. ------------ EVs are well known to have poor highway cruising economy. I do wonder if a 2nd gear would help them out.
